After the Civil War , in 1654 Oliver Cromwell set up the Fellowship of Master Hackney Carriages by Act of Parliament, and taxi driving became a profession. This makes the licensed taxi trade the oldest regulated public transport system in the world.

@Vintage77Ball It can only be between two . Puskas & Cruyff . Can I cheat and say both of them . They were truly at their peak the best footballers in the world in their era
Our member @baykeens had a passenger bilk him and damage his cab . He contacted the UCG and our chair Karen stepped in straight away, she was able to track the passenger down, and made sure he paid every penny owed for the repairs and fare . The bilker has now agreed to pay our member every penny that he’s owed. That’s the strength of having the UCG behind you when things go wrong.
The UCG Often Copied, Never Equalled.
@Hamishbutter@UnitedCabbies Our AGM in line with our rule book is in June ,the upcoming World Cup will obviously have an effect.Traditionally our AGM is the least attended due to the time it’s held. Our other meetings are always well attended .Whilst not always the biggest attendance we always get a quorum
The UCG have its core beliefs If you disagree with our beliefs that’s your prerogative. No one’s forcing you to join there are other orgs/unions to choose from . We have regular engagement with our membership. Our policies are set by our membership not by social media
